[VIHUELA] MS CZ- Bm D 189

2018-02-10 Thread mjlh...@cs.dartmouth.edu 
Dear Martyn

If you had taken the trouble to read the message that I sent to the 
list on 31st January you would know what my conclusions about this 
manuscript were. There is no need for me to clarify my position further 
and I do not believe you are interested in composing a constructive 
reply.

It seems that all you are interested in is bullying someone who 
disagrees with you by misrepresenting what they have said and by 
posting offensive personal comments about them to as many people as you 
can.

As far I am concerned the matter is now closed. 

Monica

Dear Monica,
Your earlier message of 31 Jan is, in fact, below - simply scroll down 
to find it..
Rather than this Trumpesque bluster and obfuscation would you now 
please simply and, is it too much to hope, politely answer the direct 
question put to you. As carefully explained, this will provide you 
with the opportunity to properly clarify your precise position over 
the instruments required for the pieces in this MS and will then 
enable a constructive reply to be composed. 
Here's the relevant question again:
'- as I understand it from what you have written, your position 
is that the vast 
majority (about 98%) of  the some 124 works for plucked instruments in 
this MS are for a six course gytarra and that just three are for a 
mandora (according to you a twelve course instrument with  five 
fingered courses and seven free basses -  you stated that  "The mandora 
has seven unstopped basses" )'
Is this still a correct statement of your position?
regards

Martyn

   PS I copy this to the 'Baroque Lute' list since the mandora is a lute
   family
   instrument ( - and a baroque lute to boot!) and such messages are
   therefore
   entirely relevant on that list.  If the mandora were a guitar I
   wouldn't.

   Dear Martyn
   The message which you have attached below is NOT the message which I
   sent to the Vihuela List  on the 31st January.
   I suggest you retrieve this from the Archives and ACTUALLY READ IT
   CAREFULLY.  It is the second down below your latest message.
   Frankly I am not really interested in anything that you have to say
   about this as it is clear that you do not know what you are talking
   about. You are only interested in disseminating your own cranky ideas.
   Re copying things to the Baroque Lute list - when I signed up I
   received a message saying that cross-posting was not allowed. I don't
   think that anyone on that list  interested in anything you have to
   say.  I don't want to receive three copies of every message you see fit
   to send. I may query this with Wayne if you persist.
   As ever
   Monica

Dear Monica.
   Thanks for your latest of 31 Jan (below) and forgive the delay in
   replying - it's only today risen to the top of my current 'to do' list!
   I note what you say and will respond in due course. However, to
   enable me to do this properly, it will be helpful if you would now
   confirm precisely what your position is on the instrument(s) required
   for the pieces in this MS.
   In my last of 29 Jan (- also below) I wrote:
 '- as I understand it from what you have written, your position is
   that the vast majority (about 98%) of the some 124 works for plucked
   instruments in this MS are for a six course gytarra and that just
   three
   are for a mandora (according to you a twelve course instrument with
   five fingered courses and seven free basses -  you stated that  "The
   mandora has seven unstopped basses" )'
 Is this a correct statement of your position?
 regards
 Martyn
